Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and that smile concealed unknown depths and anger.

When he comes back, he should ask her harshly why she was having an affair with Nicholas Tse behind his back.

He shouldn't have been so quiet.

He shouldn't have remained silent.

Pretend to be unaware.

But why, as soon as he saw her, he couldn't ask the words that had been brewing in his mind for several days?

What are you afraid of?

I am afraid of confrontation, because the current harmony between the two people will be broken and I will lose her!

The sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped. Chi Yu changed into clean clothes and walked out of the room. The aroma of food wafted from the living room.

He Yaoyao was busy between the kitchen and the dining table. Her back seemed particularly gentle, but it also made his heart twitch.

"Yaoyao, stop busying yourself and come and sit down." Chi Yu's voice was calm, but with a hint of imperceptible pain and gloom.

He Yaoyao paused what she was doing when she heard that, then turned around with a slightly stiff smile on her face. "Okay, the food will be ready soon. Try the soup first."

At the dining table, the two sat opposite each other, but the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

He Yaoyao would steal glances at Chi Yu's face from time to time, trying to find a clue from his expression to determine whether he already knew what happened that night.

Chi Yu appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

After dinner, Chi Yu took the initiative to suggest taking a walk. He Yaoyao was nervous, but had to agree.

The night breeze blew gently as the two walked side by side on the quiet street, the moonlight stretching their shadows long.

He Yaoyao thought Chi Yu would expose her. When she felt that he already knew, she suddenly stepped on a can.

A creaking sound broke the eerie silence.

Chi Yu looked down and found that He Yaoyao had stepped on a can.

He looked at the crushed can, and in an instant, he suddenly thought of something.

He lowered his head, bent down, picked up her feet, took out the can, and removed the pull ring from the can.

Then, he knelt on one knee and reverently raised the can pull ring in front of her with both hands, "Yaoyao, will you marry me?"

He Yaoyao was completely stunned. She stared at Chi Yu in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

In the moonlight, his eyes were extremely firm, without the slightest hint of joking.

The dim light from the street lamps cast a soft and warm glow on him, but it also made the scene seem even more unreal.

"Chi Yu, what...what did you say?" He Yaoyao's voice trembled slightly, and she almost suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

Chi Yu took a deep breath, his eyes locked tightly with He Yaoyao's, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into this moment. "Yaoyao, I know there may be some misunderstandings between us, but I can't deny that because you love me, I can choose to forgive or ignore those things that may cause us to quarrel. I am willing to spend the rest of my life to prove my love for you and to take good care of you. Are you willing to give me a chance and let me try to take care of you for the rest of my life?"

He Yaoyao's eyes were slightly moist, and it would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved.

She knew Chi Yu must know something.

But even though he knew it, he was still willing to propose to her sincerely.

As a good woman, she should have agreed without hesitation.

But she was hesitant in her heart.

She remembered the day when she and Nicholas Tse held hands and danced the waltz to the song.

There was resistance on her face, but she was excited in her heart.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, it turned out that loving someone and not loving someone were so obvious.

But how could she refuse Chi Yu now?

If I refuse, it would be too cruel to him.

His kindness to her prevented her from saying such harsh and cruel words.

"Chiyu, I'm very picky. Are you planning to propose to me so simply? Don't you think it's too sloppy? Without a big diamond ring and a romantic, carefully decorated venue, I won't agree."

As soon as He Yaoyao finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze for a moment. A trace of surprise flashed across Chi Yu's face, and then was replaced by a gentle smile.

He slowly stood up and held He Yaoyao's hands tightly. Those hands seemed warmer and stronger than usual.

"Yaoyao, I was negligent. This proposal was indeed too hasty and did not give you the sense of ceremony you deserve. But please believe that my feelings are sincere and firm. Give me some time, I will prepare a proposal for you that is unique in the world and make you the happiest woman." Chi Yu's eyes were full of expectation and determination, as if at this moment, he had already seen every beautiful moment he would spend with He Yaoyao in the future.

He Yaoyao felt mixed emotions. She was moved by Chi Yu's tolerance and persistence, but also felt guilty for her insincerity.

She gently pulled her hand back, lowered her head and stroked the corner of her clothes, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "Chi Yu, I know you treat me well. But, I..."

Chi Yu interrupted her and gently placed a finger on her lips, stopping her from saying anything. "Yaoyao, you don't have to explain. I understand. Loving someone is a mixture of bitterness and sweetness. I am willing to endure both. Being with me, you don't have to feel any psychological burden. Just enjoy my kindness to you."

As the night deepened, the two people under the street lights seemed to be surrounded by a soft halo, and the air was filled with an indescribable warmth and relief.

He Yaoyao looked up and looked into Chi Yu's eyes that were full of understanding and tenderness. Her heart softened little by little, and her gaze became firmer little by little.

"Chi Yu, thank you. Give me some time, I will think about it seriously and give you an answer." Although He Yaoyao's voice was soft, it revealed an unprecedented firmness.

Chi Yu smiled and nodded, then gently embraced He Yaoyao in his arms. At that moment, it seemed as if all the misunderstandings and suspicions had dissipated with the night wind.

They snuggled up to each other and made a silent promise under the moonlight - no matter what the future holds, they will face each other and love with the greatest sincerity and courage.

……

The next day, when He Yaoyao arrived at the company, the security guard said to her, "Ms. He, the flowers sent to you have arrived. Do you want to take them upstairs yourself, or should I help you deliver them later?"

"No need, Brother Li, just throw it away for me. If you get flowers next time, just refuse them. If you can't refuse them, just throw them in the trash."

"Ah, such beautiful flowers, thrown into the trash can?" The security guard looked surprised.

"Yes." He Yaoyao said without any reluctance.

Some things should be let go, and that's when they should be let go.

……

"General Manager, the flowers you sent to Miss He were not accepted. Someone close to the matter reported that the flowers were thrown into the trash can outside the company by security."

"What?" Xie Tingxuan's face darkened in an instant. His mood was already broken at the beginning of the day.

He originally thought that his efforts during this period had changed He Yaoyao's attitude towards him, but he didn't expect that he would be exposed overnight.
